Introduction of circular economy as a sustainable production and consumption strategy

Thanks to the project, the principle of circular economy has been introduced in the models of sericulture production promoted in the region. Based on a specialised consultancy, the necessary guidelines to apply the circular economy criteria in the whole cycle of silk production (from primary production to industrial transformation) have been defined. The global market is changing and there are increasing demands to reduce the environmental impact of the production of goods. All sectors are reviewing their forms of production in terms of the negative impacts that these activities have on the environment. The approach to sustainability is changing with a shift from a linear model to one that takes into account the best and responsible use of resources.
